i am an avid "taking Rebecca to Taekwondo class 6 times a week" fan. lol.

i keep tropical fish, one tank at home 46G and a smaller 10G at work, haven't gotten out to much on my bike this year (older and lazier i know), i still enjoy my walks around the lakes we have close by taking shots of what ever is about.

Too many hobbies to ever keep up with. I usually bounce around back and forth between them all when I have time or remember how much fun they each are. Photography now takes up 95%+ of any free hobby time now though.

*Woodworking
*Collecting and smoking good cigars
*Golf
*Hiking and camping
*Antiquing
*Collecting, trading, and shooting firearms

Add three kids 12, 9, & 4 to the mix and that sums about all 48 hrs of everyday. 😜

Crappie & Walleye fishing
Food plotting / crops / land management for wildlife
Taxidermy
Bowhunting
Scouting / exploring
Plant / flower gardening

Getting back into photography will blend well with much of what we do.
Hobbies are expensive though. Would like to reload and shoot more but that will take a step back with camera stuff coming up.

They're all great pictures, but the P-80 is over-the-top absolutely cool!

Cheers Sandpatch, the finish on this model is stunning. The guy who built it told me just the metal effect coating he put on it took him about 4 months to do but I think he made stunning job of it.

It's almost easier to list what is not a hobby. Ha! The list is long and it varies from time to time in the amount of participation.
Ham Radio
Photography
Hunting
Blackpowder/muzzleloading competition (Mountain Man Rendezvous)
RC Airplane flying
Welding
Construction & Mechanics projects (Currently finishing my house construction project which was nearly a solo venture)
Gardening
Geocaching
Biking (just started back after many years)
Weightlifting (An old hobby that has slid by the wayside lately)
Beekeeping
Camping

Problem is which one to play with each day. Ha!

Ham Radio too, or Amateur Radio as it's more commonly called in the UK. I enjoy restoring and using older valve (tube) radio kit, and using ex army Clansman kit. My call is M0SVB. And of course, photography. That's currently my number one hobby.

Had quite a few, now narrowed quite a few down but there's always room for picking things back up if needed.

Poi (spin something on strings in a fluid manner, though never tried fire just yet), skating and blading, snowboarding, rc cars, DJing, occasional video games, and eventually collecting interesting older lenses.

Only just found this thread.

Apart from cutting the grass .......... and we have a lot of grass.
Woodworking was/is a kind of hobby.

Four years ago my wife said she wanted to buy a bird table she saw at a garden centre we were visiting. The price was crazy and I said I can make a better one! Big mistake!

Having then bought chop saws, drills, cramps and lots of other "essential" tools I made three prototypes. They are still in the shed.

but. .. I decided to make a hexagonal tree seat using only tenon joints and woodglue
and three years later it's still there in the garden today. I had to do a lot of joints to make it,mbut it was good fun. See my 52 in 2015 later this year.

Photography has since become my #1 hobby over the last couple of years and it's a constant learning experience.
